Many people confuse gunpowder and black powder. Both of them are mixtures, although gunpowder, also known as smokeless powder, was 100% nitrocellulose, a compound, when it was first used in the mid 1800's.
Black powder is a very intimate mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Smokeless powders today get their energy when burned from 100% nitrocellulose to mostly nitroglycerine. Most smokeless powders obtain their energy from a mixture of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. However, even smokeless powders made today with pure nitrocellulose are still a mixture because manufacturers add other compounds to the powder to reduce the muzzle flash, stabilize the burning rate, slow the decomposition of the powder and to neutralize any corrosive acids formed from the powder's decomposition.

YES
A mixture.
Gun powder is always a mixture.
The original black gunpower was a mixture of 2 elements (sulfur, charcoal) and a compound (saltpetre). Modern gunpowder s a mixture of several different copunds, including nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin.
Gun powder is a heterogeneous mixture.
No, it is a mixture.
It is a mixture of charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter.
I think its a mixture
A green powder is likely a mixture if it is composed of different substances that can be physically separated. If the powder has a uniform composition and cannot be separated into different components by physical means, it is likely a compound. Chemical analysis and tests can also help determine if the green powder is a compound or mixture.
yes
Sulfur powder is an element.
Yes, gunpowder is a mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. These three components are combined in specific proportions to create the explosive powder used in firearms.
Baking powder is a mixture of backing soda and other compounds
